WON CONTRACT, BITCHES! (And then had zero transition support for several months because of territorial government assholes)
Natter 74: Ready or Not
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I started threatening to set all the things on fire today. Though everything was kind of already on fire. It's only Tuesday. There are 3 summaries I need to send out before 9 because apparently I'm the only one who grasps the whole picture. I think my brain's on fire too.
Once again today my coworkers made suicide jokes again. And once again I wanted to heckle them with "really? Too soon, yeah?". I suppose it's like saying "I'm starving" when you're just hungry and not about to die from lack of food. And my heckling is starting to not to be so not-serious in intent.
Julie, I'm sorry, they should be more aware of what they're saying. Even unintended it's still painful.
Day 2 of conference ended with eating delicious Russian food, getting soaked in a downpour, and falling into bed exhausted at 8:30. Still gotta do some work before I sleep.
Julie, have directly asked them to stop?
Julie, that's awful. Really and truly.
sarameg, as referenced Elsewhere what I texted Jilli to say was "Dear QA, show me on the doll where the defect touched you." when I got fed up with not getting enough information.
Hahah!
Yeah, today I was emailing my boss with "if you want me to do that you'll need to clone me. 15 times" and she was all "well the resourcing issue has been raised to the highest levels of the company because they're very concerned, but (my job title) is in short supply". My response was "yeah, and if you make me try to do 150% of what I should be doing for another month, they're going to have one more position that's not easy to fill". Ugh!

Does not matter!

You should, though. People don't think.
I feel like the goddamn neighborhood fairy godmother. In a good way. Just got a request for a watch with a second hand because my friend has clinicals tomorrow (in nursing school) and lost hers. I have one, but she's hitting up nearby drugstores first, at my suggestion (because I'm happy to loan it, but it is small and hard to read and she hadn't thought of checking there.)
For my next feat, I'll save a kitten...wait, already did that. A few times.....
